Unexciting

I feel bad that now that my life has quieted down, my blog is going to be very boring. So this one will be pretty short.

Plans for the summer:

Slave away at BK. Already begun.

Go to NYC with Cesca and some of her school friends. I'm sure you know a trip to Phantom there is inevitable.

Renaissance Festival. Oh yeah. This one is gonna be awesome.

Medieval Times and Toronto Zoo. Idk, Ronnie and Lauren thought of those.

Visit my cousin in Chicago.

See lots of movies. Already begun with Thor. Which was pretty good. I was actually impressed. And it was hilarious.

Marathon watch a bunch of TV shows, including but not limited to Doctor Who, Torchwood,  Dollhouse and Game of Thrones.

Do my stupid summer class so I don't have to take 18 credits my senior year unless by choice. Signing up for this has been a real pain. Especially for my mother... Sorry mom.

Find some way in there to actually save money for Italy next spring. Yeah, that's gonna happen.

That's about it. Whoooo fun times.

Home!

Here's some pictures about me getting home. I'm sure you've all heard the story about how I thought we were going to miss our flight, how I almost threw up in the blanket bag during the descent, and how happy and exhausted I was Monday night. Yup. So here are the pics

waiting for the cab and van that took an extra
hour to get here...

all our luggage

yeah, that's all our trash and
recycling from the weekend

haha my name is Christ

The banner my friends made for me!

My welcome home cake. Red, White & Blue cause it

My wonderful Cadbury bar my friends bought for me!

Last day :(

Today was my last day in London... Sad... Sarah and I made the most of it:

Part of the greener London initiative: Barclay's Bikes

Such a fun time!!!
We then tried pancake sundaes at BK

We decided to do a 'family pic'

And then it got nasty



Our group at the London Centre. Sad to leave

We finished the day packing and reminiscing. It really has been a wonderful time. Absolutely wonderful. I wouldn't trade it for the world. One of the best decisions of my life, hands down.

To London and everyone in it:

Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart is a memory
And there you'll always be


Thanks for the life lesson, Fox and the Hound.

Nostalgic Post Part 1

So as I was typing my last post about pics and the end of year party, I was struck by all the good photos we submitted that didn't make it. So I thought I would start posting some of the good memories that my friends and I have had on our adventures. Enjoy!
